@ashishkjha I do agree with you that private insurance market does not work in bringing down healthcare prices..

@ashishkjha @ashishkjha .. unfortunately the price masks a lot of quantity (and some quality) aspects that’s not captured by just the procedure. Although I think we should be comparing US public reimbursements to compare with these other countries..

If you ever wonder whether we have a utilization problem or price problem in US healthcare This chart should help Here are four procedures by rates and prices, in the US, Australia, Switzerland and Germany We don't use more healthcare We just pay much higher prices

@BanilowMary @instrumenthull I am fully aware that he does. I am just surprised they even the statistician did not bring up this literature when criticizing the Poisson model..

@jmwooldridge One area where I am unsure about this approach is when we want to understand the effect of an X on Y, and X affects both Y and POP.. then I don’t want to adjust away the channel of effects through POP….

It seems that there needs to be more consistency in models with a count y. If y clearly increases with population size -- such as a homicide count -- an exponential model for y with log(pop) as an explanatory variable makes the most sense. This allows y/pop to vary with pop.
Stuart Gilmour@drStuartGilmour

@jmwooldridge @Josh_Merfeld Following the original paper he included population on lhs and rhs of the model. Classic error when studying mortality rates. Other econometricians include it (or its log, or sqrt) as a weight. All mistakes driven by misunderstanding the data generating process

Residency applications to programs in abortion-restricted states declined among both women and men post-Dobbs, with the largest gaps in abortion-related specialties such as #OBGYN and family medicine. ja.ma/40KSNZj

Mumbai froze rents for 52 years (1947-1999) to protect tenants. Result: rental housing collapsed from 54% to 19% of stock. Landlords stopped building rentals. The irony is brutal.

More on dementia & finances: similar to credit outcomes, we see declines on asset side start about 6 years before dementia onset, patterns are consistent with mistakes driving declines, not healthcare spending or spenddown
NBER@nberpubs

Household wealth begins to decline six years before the onset of dementia, largely because of poor financial decisions, from @JingLiUW, Kathleen M. McGarry, @lhnicholas, and @JonSkinner17 nber.org/papers/w34659

@instrumenthull Indeed a nonsense take! You cannot apply prediction model on non randomized data and believe that you can reliably predict the counterfactuals.. as you can never validate those predictions..
